Document background
The Arbitration And Mediation Agreement serves as a fundamental document for establishing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms under South African law. It is typically used when parties wish to avoid costly and time-consuming court litigation by agreeing in advance to resolve their disputes through mediation and arbitration. The agreement incorporates provisions compliant with the South African Arbitration Act 42 of 1965 and the International Arbitration Act 15 of 2017, making it suitable for both domestic and international disputes. It outlines the complete dispute resolution process, from initial mediation attempts through to binding arbitration, including the appointment of neutrals, conduct of proceedings, confidentiality obligations, and cost arrangements. This document is essential for businesses seeking to establish clear, efficient, and legally sound dispute resolution procedures.
